DIN 6325 Dowel pins

DIN 6325 Dowel pins

Material: 100 Cr6 or equivalent 

Hardness: 680 + 100 HV (60±2 HRC) hardened through 

Order example: DIN 6325 d-m6 x l, DIN 6325 5-m6 x 20

Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. For a tight fit, your hole should be equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter shown. Breaking strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.

Steel pins are the strongest dowel pins. Steel pins are precision ground except for 1/32" diameter pins. Some pins meet material and dimensional standards set by ASME, Mil. Spec., DIN, or ISO. DIN 6325-m6 is functionally equivalent to ISO 8734, with slight differences in hardness and length tolerances.
